Samsvarsstandarder

Samsvarsstandarder, or harmonized standards, are a set of technical regulations that apply to products and services within the European Union. They are designed to ensure the free movement of goods and services by establishing common technical specifications and conformity assessment procedures. These standards are developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC), and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), and are adopted by the European Commission.

The purpose of samsvarsstandarder is to create a level playing field for businesses operating within the EU, by ensuring that products and services meet the same technical requirements across all member states. This helps to prevent discrimination and promotes competition. The standards cover a wide range of sectors, including construction, machinery, electrical equipment, and telecommunications.

To ensure compliance with samsvarsstandarder, businesses must undergo a conformity assessment procedure. This can involve various methods, such as self-declaration, internal production control, or third-party certification. The chosen method depends on the specific product or service and the level of risk associated with it.

Samsvarsstandarder are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in technology and market needs. They are an essential tool for promoting safety, interoperability, and innovation within the EU.
